Final Project Questions
What is the title and basic plot of the time-based work?
The title of the time-based work as of right now is "Party Food." I am not entirely sold on this title, but I liked the double meaning behind it. I think it accurately describes what my work is about. The basic plot is about food coming to life at night when everyone is asleep. The food wakes up when no one is around and throws a party, but whenever a person enters the room the food becomes inanimate objects again.
What is the climax of the time-based work?
The climax of the time-based work is when all of the food has left the kitchen and joined the dance party. This is when the most food has joined the party and they are all dancing.
How is composition used to re-enforce the narrative?
Composition is used to show the perspective of the characters. Placement of the characters on the screen show where the focus is. For example, when the apple first comes to life and leaves the rest of the fruit, the bowl of fruit is shown on the right hand side of the screen. This shows that they are left behind and are curious about the apple's whereabouts.
How are camera angles used to evoke empathy?
I plan on making most of the camera angles at the food's level so that the viewer will empathize with the food. For example, whenever the person enters the room only her legs will be seen because the food will be sitting on the floor. At the very end I will make the camera angle behind the person so that the viewer will empathize with her surprise at finding all of her food on the floor. I will make the party scenes from a 3rd person perspective occasionally so that the viewer can get a feel for the energy of the party.
What points-of-view are used to tell the narrative and why?
Mostly the points-of-view are from the food's perspective so that the viewer will relate with the food and be interested in what the food is doing. At the very end the girl's point of view is shown so that the viewer will relate with her surprise.
How does the project clips editing contrast rhythm/speed ?
The project begins with a slower pace by showing shots of the room without much going on to introduce the scene. After the apple first comes to life, the other food comes to life much faster since this was already shown was. The party scene will be numerous quick shots so that the viewer can get a good idea of everything that is going on.
What are motion and animation highlights in your work?
The motion and animation highlights are when the food comes to life. This will be stop-motion. The highlight of this will be the party scene when all of the food is dancing and the room will be converted into a club scene.
What do you want the viewer to think and feel after they finish viewing the project?
I want the viewer to smile when they see my project, and maybe laugh a little. I want the mood to be light and happy. I want them to look at inanimate objects a little differently after they see my project, and imagine what other objects would do if they were animated and how they would move.
